Jack the Riepe, Multiple issues 2016 The people who don’t turn to “Keep ‘Em Flying” no doubt first turn to “Jack the Riepe” instead to enjoy the trials, tribula- tions and ex-wives of K-bike aficionado Jack Riepe. We came damn close to losing Riepe in 2016 thanks to uncontrolled trench foot (or some such other kidney- or liver-related condition), and we’re all glad he regained enough of his health to at least keep writing his monthly column. Be sure to join the Secret K Bike Club (K bike riders only, naturally) and pick up a copy (when it’s available) of Jack’s book, “Con- versations with a Motorcycle.”
An Expat Returns, April 2016 When you take a motorcycle-loving Brit and transplant him to the USA, there’s no telling what will happen. When it’s Neale Bayly though, you can guarantee the stories about that process will be entertaining and informative. Neale returned to the land of his birth for a long-awaited motorcycle journey, and in the process delivered his 12-year-old son into the arms of his ancestral homeland’s people. Patrick absorbs England’s atmosphere and gains wisdom from a long-time family friend who rides along with them.
2017 Rally site announced, June 2016 Before 2016’s DAS RALLY! had even taken place, MOA members learned the location of the 2017 rally: Salt Lake City, Utah. Make your plans now to visit the Crossroads of the West and “Find Your Crossroads” on your way to the rally from wherever you may start your journey.

Discover Wisconsin, September 2016 Between Ron Davis and Sue Rihn, you’d think Wisconsin was just two doors down from the Pearly Gates, and the more you read about their journeys through the 30th State, the more you expect them to sit down in a random diner and notice St. Peter himself sitting at the next table. Rolling hills and stunning scenery are the highlights of this entry in the Discovery series, and it’s not hard to see why so many people flock to Wisconsin for vaca- tions and expeditions. “Rural Wisconsin has a beauty of her own,” Rihn writes, “with majestic red barns against green corn and golden wheat.”
